To boost births, try Gangnam style? (KoreaHerald/13 Jan 2025)

The Korea Herald reports that Gangnam district in Seoul recorded a 15% increase in births last year, the highest growth among the city’s 25 districts, despite South Korea's overall low fertility rates. The district’s success is attributed to expanded childbirth benefits, including cash incentives, subsidies for postpartum care, and transportation support, which have significantly boosted birth numbers in the area.
